no chat because wym i can't wear my defaultee badge to the interview??? i've been collecting them since i was about 16 but my mentor just said corporate sees pride merch and assumes you're not serious so if she sees one on my bag it's an automatic pass over. i already got my mega armor for the days i need to feel like myself so at least i know ill survive the room but people are legit about to get looked over just for being proud

This page is dedicated to preserving the life and work of my father,
Gilbert “Kashmir” McAlpine — The Tag Man.

He was an artist who created with precision, vision, and commitment—working in a single take, without corrections. From custom tags and plaques to murals and large-scale work, everything he made carried his signature style and presence.

He was part of a real community of artists, and when he passed in 1997, people showed up in numbers to pay their respects. That’s the kind of impact he had.

This page exists to document his work, his method, and his legacy.

If you knew him, have photos, or remember his work—feel free to share.
